The Red Lion Inn in Daventry - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great pub find. Lovely food and well conditioned Ale to enjoy with the meal.

Good beer and proper simple pub food! Garden is a bit unloved, but its still early in the season.

Great staff.great atmosphere, lovely down to earth good value menu

A wonderful Ye Olde pub with fantastic staff. Only a short walk from the canal where we were moored up. The food here is excellent, home cooked and a lot of it, we ate here twice during our visit. The food is very cheap for what you get, drinks are also very reasonably priced. The pub is very dog friendly, well just friendly all round, nothing is too much trouble. Thank You for a wonderful time, from Steve, Helen and Star (dog)

Great pub, friendly staff, not overpriced, decent drink selection and nice old building as well.

Good old pub a must visit in crick Good selection of ales and a decent menu

Nice little pub, very convenient for a lunch break on a long drive on the M1. The decor is typical old pub style, low ceiling etc. The food was reasonably priced and very good. We had scampi & chips, and steak pie & chips. The pie was delicious. Service was fast. It’s a popular place for a reason.

Friendly staff, excellent food and drinks. We will be back!

Lovely village pub, nice atmosphere, tasty food and friendly staff. Very reasonably priced too. Shall be going again. ☺️

Discovered this place from a book on places to stop and walk your dog on motorway journeys. What a great find just 5 minutes from the M1 in the lovely village of Crick. Nice walk for the dogs too from this location.

Wasn’t the most welcoming entrance. Luckily the lady who served the food was really pleasant. She makes the pub. Lots on the menu to choose from, which is good value. We won’t be returning back here though. The moody bar lady told us to not allow buddy and toffee to sit in the alcove. She rather have them on the floor, in the gangway where people were walking up and down. So it wasn’t very relaxing having to keep moving our dogs out of the way.

Lunchtime out after a visit to Whilton Marina. Last here three years ago and always said that we'd be back. For a lunchtime the pub was packed, but a couple of tables available. Timothy Taylor on handpump was excellent, as was the food. Served quickly, was piping hot and plentiful and excellent vfm. Lovely village pub, nice welcome and we will be back!

Peaceful and characterful village pub, with a fire in the grate. Excellent beer - Timothy Taylor's 'boltmaker'. We didn't have a meal this time, but the menu had many interesting dishes. We'll definitely visit again.

Our first visit to this pub. The food was tasty and the staff were friendly. I loved the Winter Warmer ale. Thank you

Out of the blue we wanted to eat out but somewhere different. We pulled up in the carpark to find an old world building. We didn't book but a a table was cleared for up in the old inglenook. We had some lovely waitresses and bar maids who made us feel welcome. The food choice was large and vegetarian option was really good for my partner. The food was really nice and hot when it got to the table. The bill was presented and I was expecting it to be a lot more. Definitely a place to go again.

Great staff and the food was beautiful.

A great pub, food was excellent, the staff were very friendly, a good selection of beers, and not expensive

Great pub love it. Great food and most of all this pub has character

Excellent pub for dinner whilst travelling along the M1... it's literally 2 minutes off the motorway, serves good value decent food, and a very welcoming atmosphere.

Didn't know what to expect for a Monday evening but it was full menu. Great pub, friendly local service, good range of beers. Food was of an excellent quality. Big thanks.

A real community pub close to the M1 so a useful stopover for good food and drinks, quickly served. Always a wide menu of home cooked food at reasonable prices. The Red Lion never disappoints.

The evening menu is great. The food was absolutely delicious. It is home made food. The men had steak and kidney pie in suet pastry. Amazing. The ladies had smoked fish and mozzarella fish cakes with tarter sauce, chips and salad. Delicious. Great atmosphere. Wonderful staff. Very reasonable prices. We had ice cream to finish. A really great evening. Drinks reasonable too. Thank you. Irene x Good parking. Few outside tables as smoking area plus bigger area for outside dining.

A friendly, traditional pub - good, simple food nicely prepared and excellent value.

Excellent pub with excellent food

A proper pub. Well poured pints, and delicious home made food and all at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended

We were a large family group on holiday on a narrowboat and celebrated a 21st birthday at the pub. Asked in advance, Paul willingly arranged balloons and a gorgeous freshly made personalised cake. We had a great evening with good pub grub, served efficiently and with a smile. Thankyou!

Stopped off for an excellent value meal in this lovely old pub.

Country pub, good atmosphere and good beers. Nice place to stay.

Good honest pub grub at reasonable prices.

Lovely traditional pub serving great food

Great meal at lunchtime and also able to cater for wife's Gluten-free requirements.

Really friendly pub - quite busy for pretty early on a weekday - it felt like a proper 'local', and the food was great. My friend and I stayed on past closing time. We were sitting in the garden when the staff left, and they asked us to shut the gate when we were ready to go! (Luckily some other patrons were still around when it came to that and took on the job!) We each had a ploughman's lunch followed by ice cream - really good (and generous portions) of cheese plus some extremely pokey pickled onions! And excellent ice cream. We picked the Red Lion by chance but we're both really glad that we did.

Very dated decor, but that's what we loved about it! Took us back in time 😁 Plus a really friendly welcome

Proper old village pub with good beers , great menu, lovely food and excellent friendly service. We went in Friday lunchtime and the place was very busy with diners, but we were seated and served quickly and our food was spot on. Nice and close to the motorway for a pit stop.

Lovely food. Friendly staff. Reasonably priced. So good returned the following day.

Quaint little country pub 🍻 very friendly staff

Nice atmosphere for a car meet.

Quaint old thatched pub with good beer and a very good menu at good prices, would recommend if in area.

Good popular village pub, excellent ales, food looks good but, as yet, untried .....

Friendly staff, and good food. Can't fault.

Lovely place to drink, come with all my family. Nicole is the best

We came here as a group for a Sunday lunch after a walk. We got a warm welcome and got seated quietly. There's a good selection of drinks, and the pub feels very homely. There's a good choice on the Sunday menu, including a vegan nut roast. The food came quickly and was tasty. It's really good value for money, and portion sizes were good.

Great village pub. Welcoming staff. Good food and choice of beers. Value for money. Worth a visit.

Only stayed for coffee but was a nice place and food smelt good i wish i cd have stayed with my friend for lunch hope to visit again soon

Good village atmosphere with great service

We visited the pub as it was recommended to us, we had a pint of Guinness which was good,the pub was cold well to cold for me, would be a good pub in summer,

A traditional British pub. With great food at affordable prices. Served by friendly staff.

Stumble over this place, whilst looking for something else. So glad I had my meal her. Staff where outstanding and the food was even better.

Lovely clean rooms would recommend

Excellent home made food and the staff were excellent. Absolutely loved it, will definitely be going back in a couple of weeks.

Was OK apart from the man who wouldn't put his dog on a lead, & was thrown out

Fantastic traditional food, good keg beer excellent and friendly service, what more could you want?. Thank you 😊

Cracking place, good food/service, very reasonably priced

Really lovely old pub. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Food was amazing, traditional pub grub. We had the minted lamb shank and sirloin steak, followed by the cherry frangipane. All washed down with a couple pints of ale. Bliss. Fantastic evening.

Wonderful place. Nice dishes and ambience. Gentle and kind people. What else do you need to spend a pleasent evening?

Great service and friendly staff looked after us at a group meeting

Great family run traditional pub. In the same hands for over 40 years, this pub does not disappoint. Generous portions of traditional pub food, and well kept ales make this a must visit venue in the Crick area. Popular with locals and boaters from the nearby Grand Union Canal.

Great people we are always made so welcome and their food is the best in the village

Great typical country pub. Good variety on menu. Had a lovely meal. Party of 3 and all arrived at same time and hot. Staff very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend but if you want to go on a Sunday, make sure you book as very popular and busy.

Excellent village Pub. Welcoming and friendly.

Lovely friendly pub with good hot tasty food and excellent value for money

Friendly bar staff and a good traditional pub.

We were given a warm welcome and greatly enjoyed the food and drink.

Value for money Dining room table very sticky and obviously does not get cleaned properly

Genuinely friendly staff, food excellent (and something for everyone in our relatively fussy group of 6) and reasonably cheap. We'll be back if we are back in the area!

Lovely village pub with excellent food and great staff

Popped into this pub yesterday Sunday 21st August on the way back from a hospital appointment at Coventry on the off chance of getting something to eat. The pub was quite busy but they accommodated the 3 of us. We had a lovely meal which was very reasonably priced. Food was hot and very good and served quite quickly. By the time we left there wasn't an empty table. Highly recommend

Lovely cosy pub, service was welcoming. Food was great, good value dinner and drinks! Enjoyed the minted lamb shank and apple raspberry crumble

Really nice place, lovely staff, good food - went in for lunch - really quick service too. Nice selection of drinks to choose from. Definitely recommend and would love to come back again.

As if you need yet another 5* review! This is the place to go for food & drink, I would even suggest stopping here if passing by on the M1 which is quite close. Great food, fast friendly service, and good value.

Friendly staff, good beer and good food

Really friendly staff and nice food. Shout out to the young lovely waitress who is amazing.

Ce lieu est tellement typique et authentique, une ambiance so british . J'ai adoré y boire une pinte

Absolutely brilliant well worth a visit

Lovely quaint country pub..great food..staff very friendly.. and polite..

What a great pub! Good choice of ales, including traditional bitter. Good menu and very, very tasty food. Friendly staff and quick service too

Nice pub with history, drinks are good and inexpensive. Just stay away from the food.

Great and friendly pub. A must visit when in Crick.

Just an amazing historic pub with a thatched roof right off the highway but quiet and centuries removed from the hustle and bustle. Low ceilings, friendly staff, good beer selection and plenty of outdoor seating. If you are speeding to or from London - make the stop and take a breath of fresh air. You'll be glad you did.

Lovely pub food & friendly staff

Good atmosphere. Good staff very friendly and helpful.

Great atmosphere, great food, great staff, great drink. Wholesome food with no unnecessary frills at a reasonable price. What more can I say? Go eat, drink and you will be happy, I guarantee it. I wish the pub was nearer to the south-west of London!

Great little pub, good grub and a great atmosphere

Great food, great beer, great service

Good friendly staff, original features, good food, enjoyable visit

Friendly staff and tasty meals!

Lovely staff and food always a great welcome visited many times best steak pie on the planet 😋

Had a good value lunch in pleasant surroundings. It was clearly a popular place as by the time we left every table was occupied. Will definitely use again to meet up with our friends.

Fantastic home cooked food and excellent beer served by a very friendly warm establishment. Always the place to go in Crick

Very nice meal. Lovely little pub near a hotel I've stayed on and off for 20 years. Never realised the village even existed until last week after being invited by a supplier. Will definitely use again and reccomend as an alternative if you are staying in the local Holiday Inn at Crick.

Staff were very friendly and provided great service, the food was well priced and tasted fantastic! Great range of food catering for vegetarian and vegan too with a decent number of options not the standard 1 or 2. 1 of our group is vegan and he was impressed with the choices and the quality of food. We will be back again.

Great traditional english country pub, always love coming here and make a point of stopping by. Warm cosy pub with excellently cooked pub favorites .. beer always very good and well priced..

Really good meal, lovely service thoroughly enjoyable family meal (was a little cold though) but still good enough for a 5 Star rating

Excellent value for money. Choice of dishes to suit everyone. Traditional puddings. - delicious!

Friendly, traditional pub food, good local atmosphere, but welcoming of us passing through.

Had the sweet chilli chicken it was delicious

Very warm welcome on arrival. Excellent choice of beers. First class food served promptly and hot. Attentive and pleasant waiting staff. Clean glasses for refills. Well maintained, clean toilets. Good value. What’s not to like?! Pity I live in Hereford!

Excellent service, the landlord went above and beyond to help us out. Many thanks.

Good value food, tasty and traditional. Lovely?

Proper Village pub, thatched roof, centuries old stone work, outbuilding is a sports bar, with pool, darts, & footie on the TV. Place was very busy when we arrived, doubted we would get a table, but we were warmly welcomed by a member of the bar staff, who explained that there were no inside tables but we could choose a spot outside, of which there was ample space, but filling up quickly while we stood. It was a lovely evening and suited us fine. The beer was traditional, good & cheap to boot. Trad pub fayre was on offer and a very good selection of vegan & vegetarian dishes too! But I'm a carnivore, so I plumped for the Steak & Kidney Pudding, with chips, peas & gravy. My wife chose the Gammon, egg, chips, peas & pineapple! Our order was swiftly taken and we waited around 20mins, which was very acceptable in view of the busyness. Boy, was it worth the wait. A good, fat, suet pudding stared back at me, it was cooked perfectly, the right temp, and tasted flipping good. All washed down with another pint of the IPA The price for this you all ask? Had change from a Twenty for the food & never spent more than a fiver on 2 drinks of alcohol. Perfect end to a (busy) perfect day. Couldn't recommend this place enough 👍
